Old MW meshes useful for OB?

[KuKulzA]

I really like the swamp troll... too bad not very good on Vvardenfell... o well ...but probably good on the mainland side of the Bitter Coast... trolls like cooler and moist places... Bitter Coast will be good for them I think....
instruments of torture, never saw those in Morrowind... very very good....

[Zarkis]

Yes, I would be pissed...lol. Easier to do it here. :bananarock: What about just editing my posts with any findings and votes what to do with the stuff?

[Zarkis]

Not shure if this is just a reskin... (it is...therefore out for OB))

[Harikari]

I'd definetely keep the troll, that thing is a masterpiece. Who made it?

I like some of those models posted, but many I think need to be completely redone or made new ones in it's place.

To be honest, the bath tub in this post looks like crap, imo. Some other don't look that good to me. Some could be fixed with newer textures, and some are good enough.

noremorse: Between the "some" and "many" in your post I find it hard to figure out which of the old models you're commenting (besides the bath tub). Could you clarify your opinion on them a bit?

Zarkis: Yes, if memory serves me right I think the loveflower is a reskin of that yellow flower from Tribunal.

I think the torture equipment and the printing press could be usable with a reskin.

EDIT: The crows cage is pretty good too.

It was made by Vorrheis a couple years ago for TR. He was our creature modeller for a very long time. Pretty much all of our creatures are his original creations. The troll is used in our Argon Jungle region on Map 6..he blends in well with the new flora meshes...but i'm sure bittercoast would work well too. There's also another underwater-type troll he made.

Remember, everything is just an opinion. Don't make me use the duct tape again.

First Post:
In my opinion, the creatures are too low-quality. As stated, they are a few years old and look dated. Maybe new textures would look nice, and make the right one doable, but as it is now I do not like it. As for the left one, the chest peice is a reskin of the imperial cuirass, and all the other parts are very low poly/low quality. I do not see it making it into OST.

EDIT: From my experience with the right creature, when making the ST trailer, the animations were really unrealistic and quirky. I think new ones would be needed for as well. Also, his lower body is extremely disproportional to his upper body.

Second Post:
The torture rack and chair need new textures, but the models themselves are great. I also like the printing press, but it too need newer, higher resolution textures. Saying that, everything else should be completely redone if they are to be integrated. If you could retexture the display cases and make them awesome with different maps, then I may change my mind though.

Third Post:
Maybe.... I don't really care fore anything here. None of it is special, and I'm almost certain we'll see them in OB as a standard item. This especially for the sword rack.

Fourth Post:
I agree with Zarkis. I believe they are all bethsoft meshes. The quality (compared to today's standards) seems a bit on the low side.

Fifth Post:
Higher res textures and new maps for all of the shields. I would also like to see them all usable. I do not like any of the brightly colored ones though, such as the yellow. It should be darker, maybe even more dull.

Sixth Post:
Screw the bathtub, I think it's even too low of quality to be put into Daggerfell (exaggeration). The basin needs a little work on the base and new textures/maps.

Eighth Post:
I love all of Barbarus' work. Some of it needs newer textures, and it all needs new mapping, but the models are nice enough.


No matter what is done, any model being imported from Morrowind for use in Oblivion will need (at least) minor touch-ups, such as bump/specular/reflection maps.

yeah, i also think pretty much everything will need smoothing out, and my opinion about the models: i really like the crypt tilesets are great, but once again they would also need a few touchups...
...but hey thats just my opinion.
